What is a Pull System?
A Pull System is a workflow management method in which tasks are only initiated when there is a demand or need for them. It ensures that work is only done when required, reducing waste and improving efficiency.
How to use it:
- Implement a Pull System by creating a visual workflow (e.g., Kanban board) where tasks move through different stages only when there is capacity to work on them.
- Regularly review the flow of tasks to ensure there are no Bottlenecks and work is being completed efficiently.
